I remember being a fuckin' scene kid in 2007 listening to Plagues and thinking it was the best shit ever. Grew out of Metalcore, got into much better music, and now it's 2013 and I'm listening to fucking August Burns Red, Norma Jean, and The Devil Wears Prada again. But they're so much better now. Strange.

The career defining album for them that shattered my expectations. More focused than dead throne. Adam d
and Matt goldman helped them find their best sound. Confused on why they kicked out baney though. Wish
he was still in the band.

Most of the stuff here is pretty decent, but none of it is breaking any new ground. It's still the usual breakdown-infested genericore the band has always done, just slightly higher quality. The vox suck though.

Edit: Turns out it's much better than the singles would lead one to believe. It's not really
anything special but it's pretty good for this band, some of their best work. Mike's vocals
are both at their worst and best here, depending on the song, and Jeremy has never sounded
better. It's far from perfect but it ends up being pretty fun.

Damn Sputnik is fickle as fuck. Then again you guys gave the new bmth 3.5's an higher. Only improvement is the singing honestly. Mike sounds like his voice is gonna cave any minute. Not better than Zombies but better than half of Dead Throne.

By far their best work to date. Phenomenal atmosphere and way rawer than their previous efforts. Clean vocals are vastly improved as showcased in standout track Care More. Other highlights are Gloom, Rumors, War, and Sailor's Prayer.

wow. i've been a fan of these guys since I first discovered them, but damn is this better rthan i expected. the album's sound is significantly more mature than any of their previous rwork, jeremy depoyster's vocals are vastly improved, and the production quality's off the rcharts(the subtle, ambient electronics throughout are fantastic). i can't imagine the band rgetting any better at this point, but a guy can dream.

TDWP continues the style that they kicked off with Dead Throne, but they still never completely surpass all expectations. Dead Throne had a great mood to it, and 8:18 tries to recreate it with a just as powerful message behind it. But it is far less effective. Many songs showcase their new brand of instrumentation well, but I may still be in the minority for saying that I wish for them to return to some of their older elements. A modest attempt, but inherently flawed and often fairly boring.

This album at first bored me. I don't know what it was, but it just didn't click. After giving it another listen though, I was hooked. This is TDWP's best album in every department, lyrics, vocals, instruments, song writing, everything. Highly recommend this.

Mike's vocals damage this so much. His highs were fine before but they just sound weezy and weak and up front enough so you can't avoid them. I loved Dead Throne, where the guitar work stayed mostly in the low registers but there were some interesting trade offs and patterns. This feels stale and the tone is a little thinner and weaker. Overall this is ok and a grower but weaker than their last few releases.

TDWP has definitely grown since their inception, despising their Rise Records sound and opting for a more mature metalcore sound. And 8:18 is no different; it continues the route TDWP took on Dead Throne and create an excellent album showing their progress from despised Risecore to a competent metal band.
